Matt should get a “rate my space” video where people just send him pictures of their interior spaces and Matt critiques them

[@Stephteoo]

STFU OMG YES

[@samfolks8531]

this is a funnnnnn idea omg

[@emilybolesky2166]

YES!!!

[@klsimon18]

I’d like to volunteer as tribute! I was very confident in my new home interior but now I need Matt to validate me HAHA

[@JessicaSilva-vw2cx]

Love this idea 😍

[@Livemusiceventsuk]

Carly’s humour goes so under the radar sometimes but she’s the one friend that each group needs to make it gel 💅🏼

[@nehaldee358]

Matt is my fav type of personality ever. Anything Matt's in I'm definitely watching

[@staceyann7859]

Literally me! I love Matt

[@cocoraymond2818]

he’s so funny

[@samrinasiddiqui1015]

SAME, he always has something interesting and funny to say 💛😂

[@JessicaSilva-vw2cx]

Same 😊

[@Little.Jacqueline]

I love matt! I can watch all the podcasts he is in. He’s way of talking it’s what wheels me in.

[@LadyKoolio]

In Australia we have "Karen Diners", they popped up in the last 12months and the whole experience is centred on servers being rude to you from the moment you set foot in the restaurant. Great hospitality gig if you just want to be rude to people all day 😂

[@sainaina]

was about to comment this i’ve seen it all over tiktok and im not even australian

[@brooklynstanley6474]

There is a restaurant here in the US called “Dick’s Last Resort” which is basically the same thing. It’s hilarious. I went once, and they give you paper hats that have rude names. Mine wrote “more boobs than brains.”

[@daniellemcmath7115]

You guys have been killing it, these episodes are so good omg!! I'm so excited to watch this grow and see you guys get the recognition and traction you all deserve!! Always rooting for you :)

[@KTE_17Ye]

Hell yea! I knew from episode 1 that this was gonna be one of my favorite podcasts 🙌 I could listen to these 4 talk all day lol 😂

[@daniellemcmath7115]

@@KTE_17Ye same!! When I saw the trailer I shrieked. This is gonna blow up for sure!!

[@culture8490]

Think the internet is ready for some positive and entertaining content, people had enough of the drama, the pranks, the trashing etc. The podcasts that are thriving are the ones bringing real entertaining uplifting content....this one is nice, I like it!!!

[@KTE_17Ye]

@@culture8490 EXACTLY! Like this type of content is my favorite because u have 4 mature people having more adult like conversations about things that actually apply to all of our normal day to day life's. & on top of that they can still make it fucking hilarious & make us laugh!

[@culture8490]

@@KTE_17Ye relatable and entertaining, and funny, also, a sneak peak into their lives. i like

I stand by Mike with the chocolate chip cookie 🍪 ✊️

[@rachelclarke7296]

“A lack of taste drives me insane” HAHAHA : yes, relatable.

[@ThatGlobalDesi]

Mike is so wordly, love his POVs!!!!

[@jenniferhunter3730]

side note Erin looks more and more gorgeous every time I see her! 😍

[@NYRoger24]

Mike. You have to watch Timothee Chalamet in Miss Stevens, Beautiful Boy, and Call Me by Your Name. He is an INCREDIBLE actor. Please. I feel very strongly about this lol

[@ashleyl7266]

Mike I am glad you are feeling better. Another great episode that had me LOLing. I can't wait for next week. 💕

[@mara2825]

Omg Carly I also have said I liked turbulence, BUT I’ve never experienced extreme turbulence before. So I’m aware that I probably won’t always like it or feel totally safe. I completely agree about it feeling like a rollercoaster though.

[@catherineellis1200]

Fantastic Episode! This is the second one I watched over listening to it when I’m driving. I Love being able to see expressions and watching the laughter. Thanks Good Influences.

[@savannahhoward5591]

I seriously am so in love with this podcast pair. I have always loved you guys and I wanted more content if you guys together

[@glaciergang]

This is such a comfort podcast to me! I hope it lasts a long while❤️ i play it for bedtime, and I mean that in the most complimentary way. Many things don’t make the cut lol

[@jenniferhunter3730]

all my faves in one podcast. this is the best podcast by far

[@m_chell]

I challenge the boys to working a 10 hour shift on calls for Amazon customer support (while trying not to get fired.)🤩

[@KTE_17Ye]

Yes!! This is the best idea I ever seen😂😂 that video would be fucking HILARIOUS 🤣

[@crystallllltorress]

not y’all just overlooking timothee chalamets performance in beautiful boy. that’s literally like his best performance 😔

[@YeahThatsKyle]

I’d pay a lot of money to see Matt vs a Karen 🤣

[@ThatGlobalDesi]

a tip for you carly: try and practice speaking w more conviction, that helps me w my anxiety (almost faking confidence). i'd also suggest to the others to let her complete her thoughts more (esp goes for erin and matt), than rushing to speak all the time. that'll encourage carly to speak more freely

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

I agree with all of the above! I want hear more from Carly and Mike. I’ve felt like they’ve been rushed when talking or Matt and Erin talk really fast 😅

[@megan_1]

loved this episode!! you guys are killing it ❤

[@ryanbrewer7068]

Coffee definitely sometimes smells like smoke, I worked for a provider and when she when brew her coffee patients would come in and ask if someone was smoking

[@dangerrkylaa]

I literally was picking up the disaster of a mess of toys off the floor of my living room as you guys were talking about kids 😂 the struggle is real

[@tammylee7377]

Another fantastic episode!!! I love love love this podcast 🥰

[@vanferraren]

soon to be an award-winning podcast for sure!

[@ForeverYoung034]

Erin saying “we like you being the punching bag”. Yeah, we can tell. She likes to rudely disagree with Mike every episode. Makes it not as fun to watch.

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

Typically as well I’ve noticed I tend to agree with Mikes perspective more than with Erin’s

[@amillieamillie]

Erin is just annoying lol

[@DarlenexDaffodil]

Agreed I literally had to stop watching only friends because she’s always so quick to shut Carly down if she has a different opinion from her and it drove me nuts lmao.

[@dancingfreakalicious]

Tea

[@jpiercy3636]

Awesome episode a lot of great laughs! Well done guys :)

[@Ronell2Brazy]

I’m glad you’re feeling better Mike ❤️

[@dominicdeleon364]

I 100% support Mike about the cilantro. Idk if I have the gene but if something has cilantro in it I won’t eat it. It doesn’t taste like soap it tastes bad but on a more visceral level

[@ThePandalover228]

omg yes. it literally triggers my gag reflex every time and no other food has ever done that idk what it is. visceral fs

[@ig4653]

Hearing them talk about the dentist as a Canadian is wild. I hate the dentist bc its one of the health care things we have to pay for and it feels crazy expensive/not accessible. It's wild to see them say cleanings are cheap in comparison to other stuff.

[@tatumcourtneyvanstaden1179]

Great episode, Had a good couple of chuckles!

[@LamaDelReyVEVO]

I have the cilantro thing and I definetly taste soap, always have. I know this because I never tried cilantro til i was like 18 and was cooking for myself and bought cilantro to put in my meals. For a while I always thought that I wasnt washing my plates correctly or that my roomates put a prank on me by mixing soap with my food and it drove me crazy. Then I heard about other people thinking this and finally found out it was the cilantro the whole time lmao

[@RaeofLight13]

I hate cilantro and I don’t taste soap so I’m convinced I just don’t like cilantro lol

[@franka91]

Erin slayed that intro!! she turned into a whole new persona 😂

[@brittneyraposa1148]

Any One Tree Hill fans get a chuckle when Matt mentioned ‘Karen’s Cafe’??

[@thechristianmatthews9984]

Loving the button up shirt Matt !

[@summertime8388]

Those fries you were describing sound battered, my personal favorite, that or a twice fried fry Yum. Great episode ( my hot take - i love the way my natural nails smell after filing them, def top ten fav smells, that an when you blow out a match.. I think it’s a sulfuric quality that appeals to me )

[@mariangelac2051]

highly disagree with them saying that american football is objectively the most entertaining lol but ig that’s why it’s a hot take

[@biancacolmenares620]

Lemon pasta is one of the best things in the world ❤️

[@ronellgaming]

I’ve been enjoying every episode ❤️

[@mayalewis2531]

mike i love and appreciate you sm

Love seeing you all get comfortable with the podcast it’s getting better and better every episode 🫶🏼

[@imandreamendez]

the podcast I didnt know I needed

[@cait1774]

1:11:00 I’m on the same page, I think kids are cute and I would love to babysit my friends kids but thinking about doing that 24/7 and prioritizing a child over everything else just doesn’t not sound how I want to live my life. Plus our world has become so f’ed up from when I was kid, I would feel bad to bring a human into this world.

[@claire4883]

Love this podcast! Have you guys ever tried yumyum sauce!? They serve it at the hibachi restaurant near me but you can also buy it in some grocery stores

[@jasminecarter5305]

Mike’s little clap❤️

[@KatsObsession]

2 things: My hot take is I hate Olives. They are so gross. Carly and Erin now need to do a blind taste test with all the different fast food pizza places please and thank you. *** You are welcomeee

[@Star-uj4om]

Erin, Dodger stadium is the 3rd oldest stadium in all of baseball! Tons of history but of course there’s been updates. Also the biggest stadium!

[@reelrosie]

I have the cilantro thing. If I eat it I literally feel like blue dawn dish soap was an ingredient. It’s super unfortunate. But I feel like I can blow bubbles. Which then gives me ptsd-ish feelings because if getting soap put in my mouth with I was a kid. And it’s not hand soap body wash or shampoo. It’s 110% blue dawn dish soap.

[@caroltassin4049]

I was 7 when Elvis was on the Ed Sullivan show & remember because my dad had a fit. I wish you guy's could have experienced it in real time. He was bigger than life & music wouldn't be what it is without him. Only episode 5 & I'm laughing through the Whole thing, great job guy's!!!

[@prabhjotsidhu06]

I believe the fries Erin is talking about are the ones they sell at the Costco food counter. Literally the best fries I've had!

[@alexbird569]

About the sauces, I’m curious have y’all had fry sauce. When Carly said she dipped her fries in mayo made me think of fry sauce. Which is literally just ketchup and mayo mixed together. Sooo yummy

[@morganmacdonald9487]

I've come to the realization that if u don't floss after eating certain things, your breath WILL smell. Not flossing is the #1 contributor to bad breath. I have floss sticks on my 24/7

[@1818Pancakes]

I thought Mike's story was like when Erin lied about knowing Avril.

[@biancacolmenares620]

So I used to feel that way about this quotes, but after being in therapy for a year and trying to figure some shit out…. Affirmations and that stuff get me in another way now, but I don’t doll them out or impose them on other people.

[@biancacolmenares620]

How you speak to yourself matters, apparently 🤷‍♀️

[@koranirk]

There's actually a place similar to what you guys described called Karens Diner and they're having pop ups this year!

[@brianaeipper5674]

I’m laughing so hard while watching this bc my bf never is around when I listen to podcasts but he’s throwing his hot takes in too 😂☝🏻 he’s like “we need to cancel that girl (Erin) for liking pineapple but then he said he’s a psychopath (matt) for liking anchovies. 😂 too good

[@karinamataramos5535]

I used to work for Cici’s pizza in Oak cliff and I got to try bean pizza, it’s so good! With extra cheese and jalapeños🤤

[@illuminatingwild]

Time stamp: 35:45 For someone randomly take the time to reach out to a good percentage of the world towards people that may be fighting depression it is a genuine comment and helps more people then you know. It doesn't matter if you don't know them. Those people are probably not told often, by anyone (that someone is proud of them) so they want to reach out to whatever community that sees it and feels the same way. BUT it is very silly that, that is what makes you angry....Alot of people don't feel seen and very lost in the world so a post saying im proud of you in case nobody has told you often etc. Literally should not trigger you. Having a better outlook towards that comment will be more beneficial and seen in a positive light. Just thought that should be brought to your attention. love all of you this podcast is doing great so far, cant wait for the next one.

[@ElizabethP1981]

I agree with you. Why would that bother them so much? 🤔

[@Little.Jacqueline]

This one reason they are depressed. They want approval of others. Maybe accept yourself for who you are. And gain confidence. A gravitate towards a better life for yourself not others.

[@dest1722]

I saw tana eating ranch crusted fries! Made me want to take the drive up to LA lol

[@megirving]

Hahhaha I live in Australia and there is a “Karen’s Diner” where the staff are allowed to be rude and roast you

As someone that taste soap when theres cilantro i can say its true i didnt know what it was but we use it in menudo i would always taste soap and i didnt know why until tiktok

terrifying, hopefully he isn't that sketchy

u also have a listener from Croatia, and i think the engagement take has a cultural aspect. Its not as negative as u took it anyway love u guys

[@ripley2995]

Mayo deserves to be in the top 3 with mustard ketchup ranch

[@scrumps101]

Cilantro is is horrible. It’s the OR26A gene that makes us who don’t like cilantro cringe. To us it’s similar to black licorice, its that powerfully bitter and gross tasting. People who like black licorice also have a genetic component that makes it taste good to them. Matt, it’s true, cilantro will absolutely ruin a meal for those of us who just can’t eat it.

[@TariqueAli]

Soccer matches really vary. From bad decent to incredibly good

[@Dancer12091]

100% on the lemon thing.

[@evanhoffman8730]

Matt, the condiment you’re looking for is thousand island... ketchup, mustard, ranch, bbq, and... thousand island. That the sauce you’re describing, full tilt.

[@cheyennecovlin1783]

I used to be a manager at round table and all I could think about was Wait until they find out the little table in the pizza box is to keep the box from folding in on itself and not to keep the pieces together lol love this show tho

[@ourownenemies]

Matts shirt just screamed doppler effect to me tbh 😅

[@mzzzz3]

matt better be careful what he wishes for lol he doesn't want to use the air things

[@gabe7062]

quite literally all this podcast is so far, is no one ever agreeing with mike and matt never understanding the submitted questions being asked at the end.

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

Am I the only confused as to why they can just let Mike have his opinion and Matt I don’t know lol I’m confused why he’s confused about the questions they’re not rocket science 😂

[@jennabertsch8037]

I actually saw a tiktok the other day of a place called “Karen’s” and it was the set up where the staff is mean

One time I heard someone explain turbulence like the plane is in jello. Oh here, I found the quote “There's pressure on all sides, so even if the jello is shaken-and the object shaken along with it-the pressure suspends the object. In other words, a plane is not going to suddenly drop down out of the sky due to turbulence, in the same way that an object won't drop out of the middle of a bowl of jello.”
